We have found the list of foods that have zero net carbs but does that mean you can eat them freely? Seems odd.mjcbills1980 wrote: »Hi There-
So I am seeing if anybody has done Atkins, and still is doing it with great success? I lost 80lbs on it back in 2005 in 8 months, never counting ANY calories, just carbs and went off the plan due to lots of personal things. Having tried to count calories and always seem hungry and that it's not a cookie cutter approach for everyone, I need motivation from fellow Atkins, low carb peeps who can help me with this low carb LIFESTYLE, not a quick fix and then back to eating all the sugary, high processed carb crappy foods again, only to balloon up and plus some. Thanks!

We are struggling With what meat we should eat as we are still trying to figure out the “net carbs” and how those work
Why not just eat foods you enjoy but at a deficit, then? You don't need to be low-carb to lose weight.2 -

Because when you cut the carbs but eat nutrient dense fats and protiens, your cravings disappear, you energy and mental clarity sky rocket and the weight just falls off of you. So you can lose weight this way or the traditionak way. But this way is soooo much easier. Another added bonus is that it also does wonders for your hair and skin as well.7 -
